Fab at 40 challenge

Here's the thing in 2008 I followed the Lighter Life plan and lost over 5 stone and dropped from a size 18-20 to a very slim 12. Probably lost a bit too much in fact and allowed myself to put some back on but didn't stop and I am now a cuddly 14 and not too happy about it (not surprising with the year I've had!). I did a brief stint on Lighter Life Lite before Xmas but the stress of my divorce plus the cost stopped me after a couple of weeks (though 1.5 stone down!). Since then I have put some of this back on and the gorgeous purple dress I bought for New Year didn't do up...

So my challenge is to get into the dress for my 40th birthday in October. I am not going to weigh myself but just base how I am doing by how my clothes are fitting and how I feel.

The plan is to give up alcohol during the week, cut out the unhealthy snacks, make sure I eat my 5 a day, eat veggie at least once a week and get some exercise in.

Wow, well done on the weight loss. I lost a lot after my husband left but have put a lot of it back on...wine & chocolate are my dinner!! :0) It's so hard when you're stressed though isn't it. Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll do it with that goal!

Good luck Becky. Hope the diet goes to plan. I hate dieting but so need to shift some weight. I am impressed you mnaged to keep most of the weight off after doing lighter life - how did you find the refeeding program? Mich x
